For her first solo show in the space of METRONOM, ANNABEL ELGAR presents a series of recent works belonging to the cycle Refuge.
Annabel Elgar's photographs present an imagined archive of retreats and hideaways. Lodged somewhere between fact and fiction, they read like a fantasy labyrinth of oddball activity, conjuring up stories of human relationships, betrayal, hurt, loneliness, sadness and desertion. These 'human dramas' often allude to contemporary events of surreptitious exchange, where issues of counterculture and collective withdrawal are predominant.
Conceived as 'staged' photography, her work is peppered with carefully honed details that present an endless proliferation of narrative possibilities.
